Segmenting The Stack - SMC Networks TigerStack User Manual

Isolating Segments
Suppose you have a number of small, high-traffic workgroups
that do not need to share data but do need additional band-
width. Each workgroup can be attached to a different repeater
group. Then the repeater groups can be isolated from the bus
to form independent 10 Mbps networks (also known as colli-
sion domains or segments).
Microsegmentation is accomplished via front panel buttons or
switches, depending on the model. A LED for each segment
indicates the status of that segment.
Note: With the NMM installed, repeater groups can also be iso-
lated through EliteView, SMC's SNMP-based manage-
ment software.
A stack can have as many as 32 separate 10 Mbps segments.
These segments can be isolated from, and rejoined to, the bus
quickly and easily via their front panel buttons or switches, or
under SNMP software control.
